Santa Fe Salad Dressing on a Rainbow Salad
This dressing has just the right amount of heat from the Raspberry Jalapeno Preserves. I paired this vinaigrette with a colorful bulgur rainbow salad. Each of the vegetable ingredients add a special touch. Added to a cup of the bulgur is fresh vegetables and herbs like corn, fresh diced mango, red pepper, and green onions.
The ingredients that give this vegetarian salad a southwestern flare are the black beans, avocado, and fresh cilantro.
